Pauline Fowler will always be her character in Are You Being Served (I'm paraphrasing)

So why are you calling her Pauline Fowler? [Grin]

Sid James will always be wise-cracker with dirty laugh from the carry on films. DH and I saw him acting straight in an old war film; we couldn't stop laughing, even though there was nothing funny about it!

WallToWallBastards · 02/08/2016 03:47

Peter Capaldi is Malcolm Tucker. They are one and the same. Sue Johnston is always Barbara but Ralf Little is Johnny from Two Pints Hmm also Gary Sinise is Lieutenant Dan in everything forever. And Joe Gilgun is Eli Dingle Grin

Pete Postlethwaite - will least be "Danny", the conductor in Brassed Off (and there could not have been a better person for the part). Stephen Tompkinson will always be his son.

Songbird DH & I are watching House on Netflix & always refer to Chase as Billy Kennedy even though we're on Season 5 & neither of us has watched Neighbours for going on 2 decades! Grin

user1466795981 · 02/08/2016 17:04

For me, Pete Postlethwaite will always be the character he was in the football film with Sean Bean.

Sean Bean will always be Sharpe.

Lweji · 02/08/2016 17:10

What's her name off of Ally McBeal will always be Ally McBeal.

Apparently she's Mrs Indiana Jones. Wink

Rowan Atkinson will always be Mr Bean!

Dear God, no!

Blackadder.

user1466795981 · 02/08/2016 17:24

Lweji I always associate him with Not the Nine o'clock News!

(not showing age.at all)

EverySongbirdSays · 02/08/2016 19:10

Maximum - Same - he is always Billy Kennedy for us - where House is concerned though any time Taub has popped up since then, he has been Taub Smile

Dolly80 · 02/08/2016 21:24

I'm working my way through House and can't stop calling him Billy from Neighbours either. I've also seen him in Chicago Fire, yet he's still Billy.

Agree with Alan Dale always being Jim Robinson too. Maybe it's something about acting in soaps?

KimmySchmidtsSmile · 02/08/2016 22:20

Ahh, for me, Pete Postlethwaite will always be...Kobayashi Wink
Tardis Agree with ^ it was a stroke of genius to go from Malcolm Tucker to The Doctor. Yes, he will have those two parts as his main obit, but what parts they were. Similar to Bryan Cranston. MITM and Walter White but that's really not a bad way to be remembered.
Most of the Scrubs cast will only ever be the parts they played JD Turk Carla Cox...

notamummy10 · 02/08/2016 22:44

Simon Bird will always be Will MacKenzie from The Inbetweeners!

imwithspud · 02/08/2016 22:50

spankhurst · 02/08/2016 22:55

Jeremy Brett will always be Sherlock Holmes.
Joan Hickson will always be Miss Marple.
Anthony Perkins will always be Norman Bates.
Richard E. Grant will always be Withnail.

SaggyNaggy · 02/08/2016 23:00

Jeremy Brett will always be Sherlock Holmes.

Ypou missed a couple words out, here, I'll fix it:

Jeremy Brett will always be the best Sherlock Holmes.
